The Mighty Spurs - Abu Dhabi FC

[White Van Jan]

The 2 real hammerings we got off City were with Fazio/Kaboul and Chiriches/Dawson at centre back.

6-0 away, didnt we had a red card (and AVB as manager)
0-5 home: reffed out of it.
Dawson disallowed goal at 0-1 just before HT, dunno why. We'd come back into the game having been battered for the first 20 mins. Then Rose red card and penalty (red card rescinded, typical) just after HT.

I was at that match and was impressed with the team effort and how well the crowd stayed with them. at 0-3 we even got a goal back. Good effort from all, even Mr. Adebayor who scored. Thousands stayed singing till the end.

Same scoreline as the 0-5 v Liverpool (h) that sealed AVB fate. Completely different match in many ways. Very different crowd reaction too.

Very good player. Will be a star in this league. Hopefully will take time to settle and be a bit soft boiled on Saturday.

Let's hope we don't crucify him on the pitch...

We had Dawson/Kaboul both when we lost 6-0 and 5-1 too.

We've had some horrendous centre back partnerships.

Nothing to worry about he doesn't look very mobile, he'll be alright on a cold wet night in Stoke though by all accounts.

We've had much worse - when did you start following Spurs?

Jesus is coming

LOOK BUSY

 

[eanN17]

Gabriel Jesus is a very talented young player, but if he's anything like other young ones coming to Europe he will need a lot of patience before he can be trusted to be a threath on regular basis. Would be rather crazy to throw him in vs Spurs.

...no, let's hope we totally do!

We have had worse you're right. However before Dawson/Kaboul in 2011 we rarely got battered by Man City in the league.

Yes - because they were shit and not bankrolled by Arab millons

Fun fact:

We've never won 7 in a row in the PL

Nows the time to get rid of that stat. COYS

That's not very fun.

Well if they defend like against Everton they're going to need a miracle worker.

 

[ILSpur]

Well if they defend like against Everton they're going to need a miracle worker.

I think that this is why I'm feeling fairly confident of a positive result. Their defense is in shambles at the moment and although it's possible that they can all have the game of their lives, they are going to be back on their heels from the start. If we can keep them pinned back, our defense is more than capable of handling their forwards.

I think that it's almost a duplicate strategy we came out with against the chavs, but they don't have a successful run under their belts and they look disorganized.

They are cleared to play Jesus?
